Awaken the Spirit in You
Spiritual Direction
By listening deeply, our director Stephanie T. Bell helps to create a “sacred space” in which you will become oriented toward a life of awareness, naming and engaging your inner-life movements while interacting with the world around you. Transformation occurs through a holistic approach of attending to our mind, body, heart and spirits. If you are asking, “How do I connect with God” a session in spiritual direction will help awaken your connection and guide you to finding spiritual practices that are meaningful to you. This is about you, and every person has a different journey.
As a Spiritual Director, Stephanie has received supervised training in Reformed and Ignatian Spirituality, individual/group spiritual direction, discernment and leadership while engaging in diverse theological perspectives on spiritual growth. Stephanie provides individual and group spiritual direction and facilitates themed retreats using creative contemplative practices.
Individual sessions are typically once a month for 60-minutes. Group sessions include 4-8 people and typically meet weekly for 90-minutes. Retreats and workshops can be customized to meet your needs.

Listen. Connect. Grow.
Spiritual Direction is for everyone! Different from counseling, Spiritual Direction offers time to listen, connect, and cultivate an awareness of the Spirit within you. During confidential one-on-one or group sessions we will focus on your spiritual questions, your deep longings, your experiences and responses to what is meaningful and holy in your life. Spiritual Directors provide guidance needed for discerning truths about your relationship with God, finding purpose, and deeper wisdom. Spiritual Direction does not offer certainty, it offers presence.

Spiritual Direction, an ancient practice, invites you to find a deeper connection with the Divine. It is an ongoing relationship between a person who desires to be more attentive to the movement of the Spirit in their life and a Discernment Focus Spiritual Director who supports that desire. It is about paying attention, making room, and listening to what is actually present in one’s life.
